To blog or not to blog, was my one big question.
Keeping in touch on line, I thought might be one solution.
Can I reconnect with family and friends with no interruption, follow my blog and check out my life's celebration.

Showering Saturday - It's raining again

It is really too bad that the rainy weather did not arrive a few weeks earlier. There were so many different brush fires and other type of fires, it would have helped the firefighters to contain the several fires around California. When the weather starts to change for the fall and winter, it's not as harsh as the rest of the country. We are still able to golf on the days that we don't get the rain. Of course a few hours from us, like Tahoe and Reno, the temperature is much colder and they get that white stuff that I am not fond off. The changing of the leaves during this time of the year is spectacular in my old hometown of Ontario. Yesterday I went around my home to take some photos before the rain came.

In October and November these buds are orange and in December it turns bright red.

Our very last harvest. Last cucumber and three mini eggplants.

This is just around my neighborhood, the only one with some fall colors.

Hooray for the CUBS

The World Series Champion Chicago Cubs deserve to win. It was their turn. After over 100 years, they finally have a trophy. For those who watched the nail biting 7th game, it was worth cheering for the Cubs. Although if the Blue Jays was playing, I would definitely cheer for them. The Cubs fan will definitely celebrating for days.

About Me

Retired early to enjoy life. Moved to San Jose, California to join my husband. I love music, sports, sewing, cooking, dancing and poetry.

Why Cranberry Portage?

There is a small town somewhere in Manitoba named Cranberry Portage. My husband's great grandmother owned a small property there. While looking for a recipe, I stumble on a cookbook from Cranberry Portage. During my daughter's recent visit we talk about having a name for our home which becomes a bed and breakfast for our Canadian visitor. She suggested Cranberry Portage and I loved it.So the name of my blog was born.

SPOTLIGHT- My favorite SIL

His name is Mike and I am very happy that my daughter has him in her life. There are so many qualities that Mike has that makes him my favorite son in law. Well, actually I only have one, Mike. One very funny story to share. When my daughter started dating him, she specifically instructed me that I would never shot pool with Mike. The reason behind is that the other boyfriends she dated lost against me at pool, then shortly after, they broke up. So you get it, right. To this date, I have never shot pool with Mike, and I am happy to announce that they are still very much in love and happily married. Happy birthday Mike and thank you for taking care of my favorite daughter.

What's cooking?
